Key features

Veo 3.1 Reference turns reference images into video inside Enhance AI. It produces 8 second clips at a resolution you choose, 1080p by default. On top of that it accepts up to 4 reference images. Veo 3.1 Reference is built by Google. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as every other model, with no separate subscription.

Clip length

Veo 3.1 Reference renders 8 second clips. Every render is the same length, so plan one beat per clip and chain clips in the studio when a story needs more time. A fixed length also means a predictable price per render, which makes budgeting a batch of shots simple.

Resolution

Choose 720p, 1080p or 4K before you render. A lower resolution costs less, so test a prompt low and rerender the keeper at the top setting. The studio shows the price for the setting you picked before anything is charged.

Input modes

Veo 3.1 Reference takes a written prompt and reference images. Add them in the studio, check the preview and render. Every output lands in your history, ready to download or to pass to another model on the same account.

Reference images

Add up to 4 reference images and Veo 3.1 Reference holds a character, a product or a style steady across shots: the gap between a clip that looks like your brand and one that looks like the model's idea of it. Attach them next to the prompt.

Audio

Veo 3.1 Reference can generate sound with the picture, so the clip arrives with audio that matches what is on screen rather than silence you have to fill later. You can still mute it and lay your own voice or music track over the top in any editor.

How to use Veo 3.1 Reference on Enhance AI

  1. 1

    Sign in and pick Veo 3.1 Reference

    Open the Video Studio on Enhance AI and choose Veo 3.1 Reference from the model list. Video is paid per clip from your wallet, which starts empty on a new account, so top it up before your first render. The Try button on this page opens the studio with Veo 3.1 Reference already selected.

  2. 2

    Add references and describe the shot

    Upload your reference images (up to 4) and describe the shot they should appear in: the setting, the action and the camera move. Then pick a resolution.

  3. 3

    Generate, then download or extend

    Press Generate. Veo 3.1 Reference renders in the cloud and the clip lands in your history on Enhance AI, where you can download the MP4, upscale it or extend it with another model on the same account. You see the price before you confirm.

What people make with Veo 3.1 Reference

A product across scenes

Upload photos of the product and describe each setting, and Veo 3.1 Reference places the same bottle, shoe or device in every shot with its shape and label intact. Build a full campaign of scenes from a single set of studio photos rather than shooting each location.

Style from a mood board

References do not have to be a subject. Feed Veo 3.1 Reference frames from a film, a set of photographs or your own past work, and the model carries the palette, the grain and the framing into new shots. It is the fastest way to match a brand look or a client's reference reel.

Matching an existing shot

When a new clip has to cut against footage you already have, give Veo 3.1 Reference a frame from that footage as a reference. The new shot picks up the light, the lens and the colour of the original, so the join in the edit is invisible rather than a visible change of source.
